MTC Namibia has deployed four LTE network sites at Rössing Uranium Limited to improve connectivity and support digital operations within the mining environment.
MTC Managing Director Licky Erastus said the infrastructure was installed at the request of the mine to address coverage gaps in operational areas, where communication limitations had previously affected efficiency and coordination.
He said the deployment enables mobile voice and high-speed data connectivity across key zones, improving communication between teams and supporting real-time decision-making.
“This project is about improving how people connect and work on the ground. It enables safer, smarter and more efficient mining operations. Mining activities are increasingly reliant on data and digital systems, requiring stable, site-specific connectivity to manage dispatch, monitoring and safety alerts,” he said.
For MTC, the project reflects a shift towards providing tailored connectivity solutions for industrial clients, particularly in sectors with complex operational demands.
“In recent years, MTC has adopted a business model focused on delivering customised enterprise solutions tailored to the specific needs of private sector partners,” Erastus said.
Rössing Uranium Managing Director Johan Coetzee said the LTE network is expected to support operations by enabling continuous data flow and reducing communication disruptions in critical areas.
“Every truck we dispatch, every drill reading we analyse, every safety alert we depend on relies on strong, uninterrupted communication,” he said.
The installation forms part of broader efforts by Rössing to modernise its infrastructure and align operations with evolving industry requirements, particularly in data-driven environments.
